It depends: If you just did this, and it is not bleeding , you can keep the eye closed for 12-24 hours and expect complete healing. If the scratch was with an iron containing device, or if you think there is still something in your eye, you should see a doctorright away. Do not use contact lenses until it is fully healed. If there is a change in vision, see a doctor right away.
